    First Big Trip - the good and the bad

    I've fitted AlloyGators to protect my rims. I think it was a day before the wife very slowly tried to file them down on a curb. Thank god they were there. Can totally recommend them as the wheel itself was untouched. If you have some way of re-inflating the tyre then I'd say fit them yourself...

    Holiday Drop and Go parking

    Thanks for the replies all. I did have a look through the Manual, but was obviously having a brain fart and really don't want to get it wrong. Also I wasn't sure about valet mode over the period of a week. We're dropping off the night before and staying in an airport hotel as the flight is an...

    Holiday Drop and Go parking

    Had the M3 for a couple of months now, and loving it, but am facing a bit of a head-scratcher (for me anyway). We will be going on our hols soon and it works out best for us to use the Airparks Drop and Go service at Birmingham airport (via HolidayExtras hotel + parking). The drop and go...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Turns out that the car was still in Service mode. Service centre has fixed it now. Thing that worried me was that I tried entering my Tesla account credentials and it told me that my account wasn't linked to the car. Being a software tester I'm pretty good at digging through apps to work out...

    I installed the app on her phone and logged in using my details. I set the key cards as one for me and one for her. In the car I added her phone as a key and linked to a profile set up for her. She does not need a separate Tesla account I also set my profile as primary to cover the times when I...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Mine was fixed on Saturday. Initially the harness was replaced, but it turned out the ECU was faulty. All done in the time they said. Great communication throughout. Only problem is that I now can't change the PIN they set.

    Q4 collections, tales and experiences

    Sad day yesterday. Only had the car 6 days and someone has managed to scrape the drivers side wing, front bumper and alloy. They left a note, just waiting to hear back from them. Sentry mode caught the incident, but as they were parked next to Bandit no Reg visible. Don't think that there is...

    Model Y tow bar electrics not working

    Seeing a similar problem with my 2023 M3. My Atera Strada DL3 bike rack lights are not reponding. Can anyone tell me how to check using a multimeter (pins, voltages, etc)? Cheers. Provisionally booked in for Sat morning appt. Fingers crossed.

    Let me just say that I didn't expect her to continually rise in pitch until she was bothering the local dogs with ultrasonics! She then cried (with happiness). I had to tell her to come in from the rain to calm down.😁

    Car arrived this morning at home. Slight mark on the passenger side door (looks like someone has rubbed up against it), but that will polish out easily. Exterior of the car was very dusty, including some small rust particles. Straight to a touchless car wash. It's now very shiny. Quick check...

    As a lease I can't see the VIN, and after being told no chance this quarter by Tesla chat this morning, I felt there was no point asking. Text came at 15:37 for delivery to home

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Got my delivery text a few minutes ago 15:37 for 24/11. Tesla chat this morning said nothing until Q1 2023. Todays moods in emojis: 😴😐😱😭😠😡😐😲🥳 Bit of a 🎢 Never mind Twitter, Elon. Sort out comm within the companies you already own first.

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Forget my little moan earlier. Mine is coming on 24th Nov contrary to what Emma told me on the chat. SO EXCITED! 🥳🤩 Kids still don't know 😁 Just shows that the flow of information within Tesla is a bit spotty.

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    I had exactly the same conversation last week, and today the message is Jan-Mar, although my order was May. It's so cruel the way they draw you in, keep you dangling and then drop another wait 🤪:) After driving back from London to York in my wife's car yesterday I can't wait to travel in...

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Disappointing chat for me this morning. After being told to expect a text last week, and not receiving anything, chat is now telling me my delivery will be Jan-Mar 23. It's almost like they don't know what they are making/delivering. Tuskers still say Late December.

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Ordered through Tuskers, and it's the same story really, but I don't think they know much more than they post on their site. Chatted with Melissa at Tesla this morning, and she says I should keep a close eye on my text messages. No exact dates, but she did clarify that the text was imminent.

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Mine changed to the cryptic "On Order Build Slot Confirmed" and delivery Late December 2022. On Friday the Tesla agent said Nov-Dec 2022. Maybe yours are already in the big car park in Shanghai. Mine is still to be built. Who knows? It gives us something to talk about whilst waiting ;)

    M3 has a longer boot section when seen from above. There were quite a few that I could see, but mainly MY. If you go off the position of the white paper of the dash there is a mix of LHD and RHD. A mix of colours. I could definitely spot white, black, blue and red (was looking for M3 blue...

    Just on a chat with Tesla and they still say December for mine, but also that they are awaiting final details from Tusker to ensure everything is ok to proceed. Is that normal for a lease?

    Ordered through Tuskers too, and my May order EDD is mid December 2022. That has jumped around a bit too. Hope it comes in Q4 as we are down to 1 car until then, and live in a village with minimal public transport. First world problem!

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    6' 4.5" (the .5" is very important😉). Test drives always start with a comfort/room test. The space in the M3 was more than enough for me, and the kids can still fit in the back easily. Currently sharing my wife's Nissan Juke. It's OK if I'm driving, but as a passenger my head is in the sunroof...

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Well my EDD is certainly going the wrong way. Tuskers order. EDD was changed from Early November to Early December on 11/08 and I received a phone call on Tuesday this week saying as much. Today the website EDD has changed to Mid January. Ho Hum! Still haven't told the kids that we have one on...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    All net figures for 10k over 48 months. Those are good figures in comparison. What I did find weird was the M3 LR was more expensive than the MY LR. Something like £30 pcm when I ordered my M3 RWD in April.

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Us too and have attempted to have a smart meter fitted twice now. First time no signal could be found, and second time (several years later) the fitting appointment was cancelled the day before. This is after weeks of conversations that everything would be ok to fit. After talking to an advisor...

    Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

    Do you need a smart meter for these tariffs. We are having a nightmare getting one fitted as the signal is apparently not good enough. There doesn't seem to be a process that we can initiate to have that sorted.

    Tusker order moved out by one month this evening from early Nov to early Dec. Probably nothing for me in Q3. Return my current lease on Wednesday, so going to be a 1 car family (with a car I don't fit in). I do realise this is a first world problem, and that we are very lucky to have what we...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    Tuskers are quoting (using basic, no extra cost options): Model 3 RWD: £579 M3 LR: £682 MY LR: £656 Those are with insurance, maintenance, tyres, European roadside assistance and 'lifestyle protection' The prices are up considerably from when I ordered mine in April (+£80pcm for my spec).

    Did you ring, or is that what is displayed on their website? My order was in May, so not expecting anything yet, but the Tusker website has been showing early November for me for the last 2 months and have had no further communication from them. Did your EDD change to be more specific...

    Same here. Cameron was not very forthcoming. Bring back Emma, she was much more informative :p. 16:38 I can see you are still waiting to be matched to a vehicle, your leasing company should be able to provide you with your delivery estimate. This is usually a 3 month window. 16:39 What does...

    I can almost guarantee mine will be delivered when I'm on holiday in August/September. Order is with Tusker, so I'm hoping that they will hold the car until I'm back.

    Energy tariff choices, smart meters general discussion

    Thought that may be the case. We are a couple of miles from an airfield, so that may be a factor. Eon Next didn’t seem to have a clue how to push forwards. I wouldn’t mind so much, but I have direct line of sight to the water tower that hosts all of these types of comms.

    Energy tariff choices, smart meters general discussion

    I'm currently having an issue with getting a smart meter fitted.

I've got a M3 RWD on order and would like to take advantage of tiered tariffs to keep down...
